I'm posting this car because of the text in the eBay listing. This car was listed before. I remember it. It's one of those cars that if I didn't live as far away from the seller as you can possibly live and still be a US citizen, I may have bid on. The "Buy It Now" price is only $900.00
It was the last two paragraphs in the listing that made me smile... "Any and all questions or inspection welcome. I won't ship the car to Nigeria, and I really don't want to swap it for a '78 Chevy pickup, but I'll have fun answering your question. :)" and "You're bidding to buy the car, not to come and kick tyres and act all weird when I won't let you take the car 'to test for a couple of days' without payment."
After my recent experience with Craigslist and my Jeep, I can relate. It's truly amazing the number of scammers and strange people who respond to car ads.
But it's not all bad. A man named Jerry called (he was the one who called while I was writing the post about my Craigslist experience) and bought my Jeep. He has the same vehicle with a bad engine. He needed a parts car. Mine was perfect. He paid cash. My Jeep is now officially off the road, and his will soon be back on. The transaction was perfect.
I said I wasn't going to write about the Sterling being offered on eBay, and I won't. BUT, if you want to check it out (and $900.00 is cheap for what you're getting), you can click here to see the listing.
